Recipe & Guide - Spinach
High in Dietary Fibre and very high in Vitamin A.
Widely grown in northern Europe as well as the United States, spinach can be purchased fresh year round. Selection and Storage
When selecting spinach, look for crisp, tender, dark green leaves. Refrigerate unwashed in a plastic bag for 3-5 days. Preparation and Cooking
To clean fresh spinach, discard any wilted, yellow¬ish or brownish leaves.
Wash by plunging spinach up and down into a sink filled with cold water, then lift out and drain well.
Trim and discard tough stems and ribs. Leave whole or tear into bite-sized pieces. Spinach can be boiled, steamed, micro-waved or stir-fried. It has finished cooking when the leaves have wilted. This takes about 3-5 minutes when boiling or steaming, and about 3 minutes when stir-frying. Spinach makes a colourful and nutritious addition to any meal, whether in a soup, souffle, mousse, stuffing or rice dish. It can also serve as a bed for your meat, poultry or seafood entrees.
